Biography

Jack Lawson Edwards was born into a well-known show business family, the son of stage actor Jack Edwards Sr. and actress Edna Park. Reportedly born in 1919 during the family's tour in Florida, Jack was immediately included in their stage act alongside his siblings Florida Edwards and Sam Edwards. To differentiate him from his father, he was sometimes credited as Jack Edwards Jr. or Sonny Edwards. Jack and his brother Sam gained popularity on radio with The Adventures of Sonny and Buddy (1933-1936) and later The Edwards Family. They transitioned to films in 1936 and eventually joined the East Side Kids in 1940.

Like his brother, Jack had a prolific career in movies, radio, and television, and both lent their voices to cartoons. When Mel Blanc fell ill in 1961, Jack took over the role of Speedy Gonzales. Despite notable performances, including as a sinister Communist in I Led 3 Lives (1953) and a vigilante opposing a young Clint Eastwood in Highway Patrol (1955), Jack Edwards never achieved major stardom and eventually worked as a real estate agent in the San Fernando Valley during his later years.

The Edwards family reports that Jack died in September 2008. His widow, Jane Webb, also a radio and cartoon veteran, passed away two years later.
